The Profile XTâ„¢ is a "Total Person" assessment tool that has a myriad of business organizational uses, including assessing effective leadership.

The Profile XT™ is designed to optimize employee/job fit by measuring the job-related qualities that make a person productive – Thinking and Reasoning Style, Behavioral Traits, and Occupational Interests. Profile XT™ can be used to enable effective job placements, develop effective leadership among work teams, to design optimal training programs based on the trainees’ style of learning, to help supervisors determine which approach will work best when working with a particular employee, to help develop succession plans and more. Profile XT™ can be viewed as a cornerstone product to formulating your new business development plan.

When change seems to be a constant, one of the primary goals for business is staying a step ahead of unpredictability. The key strategic advantage for most companies is maintaining the performance evaluation of their employees to maximize certainty and reduce expenses. Employees who are well matched to their position have higher attendance records, less turnover, higher job satisfaction, and superior job performance. Both the employee and the employer share the benefits of enhanced job matching and the company is better prepared for changes in the business world.

The Profile XTâ„¢ is designed to facilitate placing persons in the best jobs by building Job Match Patterns and using an Overall Match percentage when reviewing an individual for possible placement. By building Job Match Patterns with either actual top performers (concurrent study method) or by analysis of a job by those who know the job well (job analysis survey method) and with the aid of preliminary patterns from the pattern library, a valid job pattern may be developed.

Because the overall match to a Job Match Pattern blends information about an individual’s fit in thinking style, occupational interests, and behavioral traits, the impact of any one scale is only a small portion of the total. This helps protect against introducing adverse impact into the placement process.

The Profile XTâ„¢ investigates several areas as a part of its performance evaluation, including how an individual fits into a particular job. These areas are composed of a variety of constructs measured as ten-point standardized scales. Each scale represents a construct related to one of three areas and theories:

1. Behavioral Traits: The psychological premises of Adler, Beck, and Ellis – that observable behavior is a reflection of cognitive states
2. Occupational Interests: Holland’s person-environment typology theory – that one’s motivation for work can be associated with various categories
3. Thinking Style: Cognitive Learning Theory – that cognitive processes are reflected in one’s style of learning

Job Match Patterns Make the Difference

Job Match Patterns are effective because they compare the qualities of your job candidates to the attributes of your most productive employees. The patterns tell you whether candidates are similar or different from your top performers. A study published in the Harvard Business Review concluded that Job Match Patterns have a higher accuracy in predicting job success than any of the commonly accepted factors, such as education, experience, or job training. Matching people so they fit the work they do builds productivity and job-satisfaction and diminishes negative factors such as stress, tension, conflict, miscommunication, and costly employee turnover.
